Forwarding user information to custom backend.

I have a use case where I have a custom backend API endpoint that does some logic, and I need a specific user information to validate if the request is coming from a valid user from softr, but it seems like I don’t have a way to forward the JWT header and pass it to my custom backend API.

Here’s the gist of the current flow.
Our users are stored in our own postgres database.

  1. Current user clicks an item from table view
  2. Display records related to the user
  3. The block calls the data source API
  4. The data source call with invoke the call to the backend API endpoint

What I want is to pass user related info such as the JWT to the backend API, how can I do that with the available REST API data source setup?
